I read somewhere that the theoretical maximum attainable speed of a displacement vessel is the square root of the waterline length times one point five. On a shallow canal of course many other factors mostly negative must be considered.

If you are interested in the French experiments of 1777, you should be able to download the published results at http://dx.doi.org/10.3931/e-rara-10974 . They were particularly looking at how large a canal tunnel needed to be as they were about to build the long tunnel at Riqueval on the St. Quentin Canal.
